If you are going to a big park you are wasting your time, it is in a really small park, it has to be or else they would have given us the name already.. If it was at como, they could have said, "look in como park" on clue # 1 and the medallion still wouldn't be found.

Chris, I definitly believe there are statues at the park. The PP always says stay off the golf course to cover there a##es, but they rarely say anything about statues.

The capital ground could be an idea. it was there once and a lot of the clues could fit there.

Ok for whoever said its at a smal park what does clue #6 mean when it say "The prize is at a spot with lots of space" f you people think it means something about parkind down by the excel i beleive thast false. Parking is horrible down there.

It is not at rice, it can't be, the park is tiny and beyond that there are icesculptors there..they would be pissed if 3,000 people came digging around their sculptures.

Digginganimal is right. Its not at any of the large parks. Its at a small one virtually no one has thought about.

Man of mettle: There is a metal statue at Como, that has no nothing written by it. Except for his NAME. (which we are supposed to look for) The guys name is Henrick Ibson. Upon further investigation, he was a very famous comidic playwrite.(man of mettle) Pertaining to the clues, playing(watching one of his plays) could put a smile on your face, The lakeside pavilion is used for plays in the summer.

allison what about in reality? do you think they have thought about it? hehe.. im thinking why be a small park? they want it to be harder than last year.. and its there 50th we all know what its in.. and once they give the park.. we will be able to walk right up to it and pull it out of that darn dove box.

AW- youre not talking about AA, are u??

Well, this park isn't THAT small, but its certainly not one of the big ones. And as long as they can keep people guessing as to where it is, the hunt will last longer.

Marley King what park are you talking about?

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 2:38 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

That's exactly what I thought too. Makes me wish it really was at Valley. And there's NO parking. But I have an idea where it might be (I hope!) and I'm going to go there in the daylight tomorrow.
